Zinc

RHEINZINK® Titanium Zinc is manufactured to the highest standards with a 99.005% degree of purity as defined by DIN EN 1179. Its purity allows it to be recycled indefinitely without the loss of any of its chemical or physical properties and can be re-used in further applications.

The raw material is melted, cast and wound onto a steel sleeve in a single continuous operation. The quality of this material is uniform and flawless.

The classic line of RHEINZINK® is available in three natural finishes: bright-rolled, blue-grey and graphite-grey. Bright-rolled finish develops a classic blue-grey appearance due to the formation of the patina. It protects the metal from corrosion. RHEINZINK® prePATINA blue-grey and RHEINZINK® prePATINA graphite-grey are given the elegant appearance of a factory finished zinc patina. The blue-grey and graphite-grey colouring of these two pre-weathered formats are alloy-based and are neither colour coated, nor phosphated.

If the patina is damaged then it replenishes itself over time ensuring the longevity that has already been enjoyed in Europe for hundreds of years.

A natural material that ages with time, maintenance free and 100% recyclable.

RHEINZINK® - Blue-grey a pre-patinated variation. These materials leave the factory — with the elegant look of a finished zinc patina. RHEINZINK has patented this process, which is unique world- wide. The surface appearance changes marginally (influenced by the environment) — the positive properties of the natural surface remain fully intact. The self-healing properties of the material allow scratches and marks to disappear over time as the patina forms in the course of natural weathering.

Graphite-grey is the elegant variation. These materials leave the factory — with the elegant look of a finished zinc patina. RHEINZINK has patented this process, which is unique worldwide. The surface appearance changes marginally (influenced by the environment) — the positive properties of the natural surface remain fully intact. The self-healing properties of the material allow scratches and marks to disappear over time as the patina forms in the course of natural weathering to the same dark graphite-grey finish.
